Agenda
Monday, October 24
This panel discussion will highlight lessons learned to-date of the ongoing development technologies in the Midland Basin, as well as the future potential for improvements in efficiencies, recoveries, and economics. The panel will also discuss concepts and potential for successfully dealing with challenges presented by rapidly changing market conditions and stakeholder expectations.
The presentations in this session will be focused on quantifying the impact of the parent-child relationship and understanding the factors controlling the degradation in performance of child wells due to depletion from existing parent wells. The presentations will be followed by discussions around the successes and failures of different mitigation strategies attempted by different operators.

Tuesday, October 25
This panel discussion will focus on the energy transition strategies oil and gas companies are adopting to deliver a lower carbon future and the organizational capabilities required to achieve that. With this transition also comes the need to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of ESG. Our panelists will discuss the importance of ESG in delivering the economic realities of tomorrow’s energy industry.
This session explores the relationship between seismicity and water handling in the oilfield, with particular regard to produced water disposal and its relationship to induced seismicity. Regulators and operators have recently established new guidelines for water disposal in the oilfield to mitigate increasing seismicity, and this has understandably had an impact on operators' water handling strategies. This will be a discussion of these guidelines, their impacts, and the changing landscape of water handling in the oilfield in an era of seismic mitigation.
